About: For about 4-5 years I’ve been on and off taking care of dogs from puppies to elders. I’ve helped raise and train my parent’s puppies for the past three years and have helped all sorts of family, friends and neighbors with all sorts of dogs. I have a cat and have cat-sat others for about 2-3 years as well as helped with reptiles, fish, rodents and birds. I work part time at a bank so whenever I have a free second I’m usually out and about checking in on pets, feeding them or walking dogs. I’m very list orientated so making a good list/schedule for your pet care is my top priority. I make sure I play with all my pets for a little while a few times a day when I’m home and give multiple pets individual attention. If I'm gone for work or something other I’m never out for more than a few hours.

“Emily was amazing with our pup!! 10/10. Her extra attention to detail was the icing on the cake. We appreciate the effort and dedication she had to make sure things flowed smoothly before and after the visit.”


About: Animals are my safe space, they’ve truly helped me my entire life and caring for them is so incredibly rewarding. Fur babies truly are amazing! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to check up on the animals!! I have a very flexible schedule as well, I will work with you! I have lots of animal toys, as well as lots of hands on experience playing with animals! I will more than happily play with them just with my hands/arms💖

About: I have always had a pet in the house since before i could walk. I love every single different type of pet and have had just about every type of pet you can have. I am a super active girl so I would love to hangout and play with the younger hyper pets but I can also relax and take care of the older senior pets. I have trained all my own dogs but i wouldn’t call myself a pro. But, if I could help out and I needed to help train i would be more than willing to. I am currently working part-time for 2 different jobs right now, but still have a ton of free time to be able to take care of your pets! I am not actively in school so the only schedule we have to work around is my work schedule but that should be to hard:) I would be able to walk the dogs and could quickly learn their routines and what the owner preferences are. With cats I would help with litter boxes if needed and would gladly play and hangout with the cats. Along with the dogs aswell of course.

About: I absolutely love dogs. I’ve always had dogs growing up and love to take care of them. I am very loving and can get along with any dog. I have dog sat for numerous friends and family members and never had any issues. Your dog will love me as much as I’ll love it. I am currently a student athlete right now. Anytime after 12 pm is a good time for me. I can definitely dog walk but can also drop in, feed, and take of dog as need be. I always make sure my dog at home is fed, walked, in a safe environment, and gets the attention it deserves. It makes me happy to make the dog happy!

About: I had family pets throughout my childhood that I would help take care of. Now, I have 2 dogs of my own! they are both two years old and have a ton of energy. I have a very flexible schedule with my other job. I am mostly always available to pet sit or take your dog for a walk, unless I am traveling. I have an adorable friendly golden retriever and high energy ausiedoodle that always wantto play, I have many toys and treats, and a crate if needed. If your fur baby needs anything specific gladly let me know!

“Vlad did a great job with my two dogs, Lily and Leo. He was prompt, courteous, and professional. It was my first time leaving my dogs alone and I was a little uncertain how they'd react, but everything went perfectly. Vlad even improvised a little bit - I hadn't anticipated rainy weather and he handled just fine, locating some towels in my garage and drying the dogs off. He stayed in communication with me with every walk. I would recommend him without reservation.”


About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love playing and walking dogs of all size and breed! Dogs have no problem approaching me :) I don't mind dogs jumping on me, I love a playful pup and old dogs that just love to cuddle up. I love teaching dogs tricks and having them show off their tricks to earn rewards such as a belly rub or treat. Dogs are mans best friend and I believe that dogs deserve nothing but the best. We have so many friends and opportunities, however dogs only have us. They look forward to a visitor and walks and play time and I am more that willing to give dogs exactly what they need want and more. Thank you. I work mostly remote so I have high flexibility during the week as well as the weekend. I would be happy to take a break during my work day to help out! We bought a house with a fenced in yard specifically for our dog(s) and we love being able to give that that space to play. Fence or not, I can sure you I will care for your dog the same!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Beginning with my grandmas beautiful golden retriever to getting my own Beagle/Australian shepherd puppy as a kid.. When I got married my husband had a golden lab that became ours. She was the best dog I've ever known. She let our kiddos dress her up, sleep on her, and yell all the day long. Her response was just to look at them and lick them.. Later on we adopted an Australian Shepherd/lab mix that was full of energy. We now have a lab/terrier mix that we adopted 2 years ago. We go on walks, runs, and bike rides all over town with her. She is a ball of energy and keeps us moving. Our 5 kids are also animal lovers and feel the urge to pet every animal they see! If you choose to use me as your dog walker, your dog will get the best walks! I will be sure to wear them out! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids in school and 2 at home. My afternoons are generally the best, but I will never accept a job that I can not fully commit to. No fence 1 friendly dog that wants to play with your dog Long walks or runs Snuggles, cuddles, and lots of.pets from myself and my.kiddos


About: Since I was a small child, there has always been 1 or more dogs in my home. I have great training skills, and a very high level of love, care, and patience with all dogs! Over the many years, I have dog/puppy sat for neighbors and friends, as they know can trust that their loved ones will be loved and tended to in their absence. All dogs deserve TLC! I have no problems following schedule preferences for your dog!

About: I have been a Veterinary doctor for 7 years, my family, friends and neighbors trust me to take care of and walk their pets. I am an animal lover and I like to offer them a happy life I currently work part time from home, so I have the time to play and take care of your pets. I am available to offer accommodation on weekends and from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. My apartment has large garden areas where your pet can run, play and have fun. I have medical knowledge, so I can attend to you immediately in case you suffer from any inconvenience. Also my passion is working with animals, so your pet will be in good hands

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep understanding of animal care. I grew up with dogs—specifically Alaskan Malamutes—and helped my parents care for them, giving me hands-on experience with large, strong, and high-energy breeds. I’ve also been my sister’s go-to caregiver for her dog, looking after her consistently from the puppy stage into adulthood whenever she’s away. In addition to my experience with dogs, I currently care for six cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline behavior, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s feeding, litter box upkeep, medication, or just giving them the right kind of attention, I know how to create a calm and comfortable environment for cats as well. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in their owner’s absence. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I currently care for six cats of my own, so feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving affection, and monitoring behavior are all built into my daily routine. I'm also used to looking after my sister’s dog when she’s away, which means I regularly take time for walks, playtime, and keeping up with their needs. Whether it's mornings, evenings, or weekends, I have the flexibility and experience to provide consistent, attentive care that fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that mirrors their usual routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box or potty breaks, and any special needs like medications or extra cuddles. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s keeping your home clean and respected or making my own space feel like a second home for your furry friend. Regular updates and photos are always part of the care, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and many other pets as well. I have also worked at a pet resort for over a year. I can provide senior dog care, I can care for aggressive dogs, scared dogs and even some with disabilities. I can also provide nail trimmings and nail grinds for your furry friends as well!!! I am out of school and graduated so I am pretty much free at all times of the day as well as weekends and holidays if needed!!! I do not own any dogs as of now, waiting on my own furry friend to come in September!!! As of right now I have my cat Dior.
